Also feeling valid in my choice to not do that.

yeah childbirth is not for the faint of heart

Just smiling, nodding, and thinking GOD WHY WOULD ANYONE??????

family and societal pressure, mostly. Well, and some people really want to be parents and someone has to have the baby

I was told my mother's as I turned around and got stuck halfway through and it took almost a day to get me out. With forceps. My mother also needed stitches as something ripped.

i refused to leave and they ended up having to do a C-section

my mom probably escaped a lot of the horrors since my siblings also had to be surgically removed from her

That's what one girl was talking about - baby getting stuck and by the time baby came out they needed blood and iron transfusions

HAHAHA /SOBBING

yeah, reproduction is a hard no for me...the entire process is just wall to wall body horror

L O L This is me every time I'm around my mom and cousins and they start talking about having kids, and keep insisting I would feel differently once it was my pregnancy, and I'm just like "AH HAH HAH NOPE. Keep talking and giving me reasons to reinforce my certainty with how Nope it is, though, thank you!"

We moved to making terrariums and now we're on our way to dinner and drinks.

I'm so tired
